Cheer Embarrassment

#40 - Worst Wardrobe

What’s the worst thing someone could make your character wear? A terrible hat? A color that really doesn’t work for them? Draw or write about your character in a situation where they’re wearing something they really hate.

"Can I go now?"

"But Paiko, you look adorable - ooh! Let me get the others over here!"

"No! Absolutely not! I held up my end of the bet. But I will not go out like this."

"Paiko, a cheerleader is supposed to hype up the people! So we need to find people- wait, Paiko, don't go!"

...

"Aaaand he's gone."

Considering he never grew up needing clothes, he isn't particularly picky with his wardrobe. Out of convenience and practicality, he'll stick to things that allow him movement but also decent coverage (whether he feels self-conscious about his human or drakon traits, no one is really sure). Sometimes he would humor Meki whenever she wanted to dress up on a whim, since being stuck inside a dimensional facility all day long did not afford many opportunities to go out and do things. 

Getting him in front of people, however, is a boundary not to be crossed. No amount of bribery or bets could get him to do such a thing. Call it camera-shy, stage-fright, just-please-don't-look-at-me... Paiko recoils at the thought of having to perform for people. (In any outfit, really, but especially not that one.)

After that incident, Sylvander was unable to find Paiko for a whole week. Good thing he hadn't posted that picture he secretly took, or else Paiko might've retreated to an obscure dimensional pocket and never been found again.

(p.s. I like to include a pun whenever possible in the title. They might be clever. They might be awful. Kudos and giggles to you if you get it ^-^)
